Quick quiz: How many continents are there? What's the longest river in the world?
Depends on who you ask. Seriously.
You use maps every day on your phone but probably can't point to half the countries in the news on a globe. You hear about conflicts in places you can't locate and nod along.
This book covers the physical and political geography that actually matters: why borders are where they are, how mountains and rivers shaped civilizations, what climate zones mean for how people live, and why some countries are rich and others aren't.
You'll learn why the Middle East matters so much, what the deal is with time zones, and how geography explains more about the world than most history books do.
No memorizing capitals. Just the stuff that matters, explained so it sticks.
GEOGRAPHY: Where Everything Is and Why It Matters covers:
• Physical Geography and Climate
• Human Geography and Geopolitics
• A Tour of the World's Regions
• Natural Resources and Water
• Maps, Transportation, and Time Zones
• Islands, Borders, and Why They're Where They Are
• Geography and History
Part of The Stuff You Forgot You Learned series — 20 quick, smart refreshers for adults who want to sound like they paid attention in school.
